I a lso have a Microtec flatbed/film scanner that cost $650.00 back in 1998, and this one compares with the Microtec, but runs on a USB connection rather than the SCSI connection.If your scanner doesn't work with simple scan, it is probably best to install the iscan package. Most scanners in this lower price-range use reflected light to scan slides and negs, which results in terrible scans. However, the new one scans film and transparencies utilizing a light head in the cover, which is the correct way to do it. The old scanner is an 8½'x14' flatbed and this one is 8½'x11'. This scanner replaced an HP scanner I bought in 1995, and the only reason I replaced it is because my new computer won't accept the SCSI card to run that scanner, running Win-Vista Premier 64-bit.

The only reason I gave it a 'GOOD' rating rather than an 'Excellent' one, is that the slide and film holders are really quite flimsy, and I have looked to buy a replacement for the and can't find them anywhere, even on the Epson website!

It automatically crops images, and though I haven't found out how to turn this off, I'm pretty happy with the job it does. At a decent resolution and using digital ICE (which doubles scan times) it took about 15 minutes to scan around 8 frames. It's not particularly fast, but it's not too slow either. I use it on an older version of MacOS and the only issue is I have to jiggle the mouse between frames or it stops scanning. The software impressed me, there's no bloat and even though this scanner came out in 2007 there's a version for Windows 11 and MacOS 10.15.

It seems to be the same part as the V600.Ī nice little scanner that can do either documents or camera film. I 3D printed some but I think you can find them pretty easily online.

Note: If you're using this for film (I am) you need the film holders that shipped with it originally. Make sure you have the plastic film holders!
